Here at Swyft Filings, our mission is to go above and beyond so you and your business can, too. One of our core values is empathy. We describe it as: ”We will put people first and care for our colleagues and customers as human beings. We consider the business of our customers to be of greater importance than our own.”

Having a mission and core values are easy in good times. Times like this, however, are where we prove that our mission and values are more than just corporate exercises. We know our customers are hurting and so we want to give back.

Swyft Filings is providing five $1,000 grants

To be eligible, you need to be a new or current Swyft Filings customer. No new purchase is required. To apply, send us no more than 500 words to our [email protected] email and answer these questions:

  1. How has the COVID-19 Pandemic affected your business?

  2. How would a Swyft Gives Back $1,000 grant make a difference in your business?

Another core value of Swyft Filings is to be Knowledgeable and Dependable. We describe that core value as: “Our customer-obsessed mentality requires us to be knowledgeable. Without that, we cannot be a dependable and trustworthy source for our customers. Mere satisfaction is not our goal. Our goal is for our customers to come away confident, assured, empowered and a little more knowledgeable so they can continue to grow.”  To live out this core value, we are constantly providing helpful information on our Learning Center, on FacebookLinkedIn, and Twitter. If you have additional questions during this time, reach out to [email protected] and we will try to provide answers through one of these channels. If you have the question, there is a good chance some of our other 100,000 customers do, too. You can also always reach out to us via phone or chat on our website. 

We will accept entries until midnight CST on April 20, 2020, and our intent is to announce the winner(s) by no later than May 15, 2020, but expect to announce winners each week beginning April 20, 2020.
